Take a guess…Go on I dare ya.  Would you believe the dress that little 18 year old Bella Swan walked through the forest and down the aisle in to marry the love of her life, who just so happened to be a vampire, Edward Cullen, in Twilight: Breaking Dawn – part 1,  cost $35,000.00? That’s right, thirty five thousand dollars. I don’t think Kate Middleton’s dress cost that much.

Stephanie Meyer’s favorite designer, Carolina Herrera designed the dress. She and director Bill Condon selected it from ten sketches that the designer submitted. It is entirely handmade and it was custom fit to Kristen Stewart’s body. It took four seamstresses six months to finish.

The dress is crepe satin with French Chantilly lace with 152 buttons running down the back with 17 buttons on each sleeve. The dress will be included in Carolina Herrera’s 2012 collection and Alfred Angelo will have a replica available in select stores. That one will retail for $799. The original is certainly gorgeous, but it seems to me that Papa Swan would probably be springing for the replica. I'm thinking a hand-made designer dress would be a little off of his price-point. But hey, if he can marry his daughter off to a vampire, maybe he also had some magic beans to sell for the dough.

Now for the best part… Check out those SHOES! The appropriately named Manolo Blahnik “Swan” shoe retails for a mere $1295.00 *thud*.  They’d better be comfortable!

Reese Witherspoon’s not-so-secret, but super-private wedding took place yesterday on her beautiful ranch in Ojai, California to her handsome fiance Jim Toth her reps have confirmed.

Both David and Reese’s husband Jim are agents at the CAA firm although Jim is not Reese’s agent.

Total guest list was about 120 of the bride and groom’s family and friends. According to US Weekly she wore a ‘custom-designed Monique Lhuillier gown’. I bet she looked beautiful. Given the privacy of it all, I wonder if we will ever see photos of her in her dress?

The 35 year old Oscar winning actress was married to Ryan Phillippe from June, 1999 to June 2008. She then went on to have a long-term relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal from January 2007 to November 2009. She and Jim have been together for a little over a year and word is they hit it off immediately and the match is one made in heaven.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Is it true love or is it stupidity? I know that sounds terribly cynical but in this day and age, especially in showbidness, especially with the type of wealth these two bring to the table I would think their ‘people’ would insist on a prenup.

This Has Got To Be Russell Brand’s Favourite Movie Premiere [PHOTOS]

Russell Brand and Katy Perry are set to start their wedding festivities next week (it’s a week-long party) with the actual wedding ceremony taking place October 23 it is being reported.

I know they are madly in love but people change despite how good intentions are at the beginning.  Listen to me! I sound so bitter and cynical and I am anything but.  Okay sometimes I’m cynical, but I very much believe in long-term marriage but this is show business after all! According to Russell at the New York Times Talks:

“We just love each other and we want to get married in front of our friends and family and keep it very normal,”

“It ain’t about selling the pictures, it ain’t about doing no pre-nup, it’s just a normal thing.”

I actually think that is refreshing and very lovely, however I’m not sure I think the no pre-nup thing is such a good idea. What do you think?
